About Us

What is Overstock Trader?

In essence, we connect people who should know each other. We are a service that connects sellers of overstock, surplus, liquidations, and other slow moving and excess inventory, with buyers interested in those products.

As the managers of the largest LinkedIn group in our industry, we facilitate the connection between thousands of buyers and sellers involved in overstock, surplus, closeout, and liquidation opportunities. Our extensive group and network possess a global reach across all product categories, making it possible to bring together valuable opportunities.

Through our group and robust network, we have the ability to unlock doors that are often challenging to open. Manufacturers, distributors, and retailers rely on our services as a valuable resource to effectively handle excess inventories by connecting them with top and most viable buyers in the market. This not only frees up capital but also optimizes warehouse space management.

Work work behind the scenes

We understand that privacy and discretion are of critical importance to our clients. Our commitment to discretion means that we work behind the scenes, allowing our clients to maintain control and negotiate pricing on their own terms. We do not disclose client information or engage in any activities such as auctions or public marketplaces that could compromise pricing strategy or reputation.

We value transparency with our clients

We believe that transparency is the cornerstone of successful business relationships. We pride ourselves on being open, honest, and forthright in all our dealings. We understand that trust is the foundation upon which strong partnerships are built, and we strive to exceed your expectations by providing a level of transparency that sets us apart from the competition. In an industry that is usually done in secrecy, transparency is a must.

We have worked tirelessly to build relationships with industry leaders, professionals, and key players in various product categories.

Why Our Clients Work with Us

Industry Knowledge

We have extensive knowledge of the closeout industry and current market trends. This knowledge helps us understand the value of the products and how to market them effectively.

Large Network

We have a strong network of contacts in the industry. This network includes manufacturers, distributors, and retailers, along with our 7,000+ member LinkedIn group. This makes Overstock Trader a key player in the industry.

Marketing Skills

We view marketing as a critical component to help promote the products to potential buyers. We excel in creating effective marketing strategies that generate interest in the products. This includes an inhouse creative and social function.

Negotiation Skills

We have the negotiation skills to secure the best deals for their clients. A partner should be able to negotiate favorable terms and conditions that benefit both the buyer and the seller. Being a third party allows us to build trust on both sides of the transaction.

Problem-Solving Skills

You need to think creatively and develop solutions to complex problems. This is an under appreciated skill when you need to find creative terms or alternative buyers as needs come up.

High Empathy IQ

We understand that finding buyers for surplus inventory can be a sensative topic. Afterall, these are often products developed out of passion, and need to be treated as such. Not “leftovers” that are sitting on a shelf collecting dust.

Detail Oriented

We are meticulous in our work and pay close attention to details. There is zero tolerance for miscommunication or vague terms. These “small” details are what can secure or ruin a deal from materializing.

Client Focused

We put our clients’ interests first and strive to understand their unique needs and goals. We are transparent in our dealings and prioritize our client’s interests above our own. This is what creates repeat customers.
